Happy Birthday Dad!

Today is my Dad's 51st birthday. He's not perfect, but my Dad is awesome. He forgets my friends' names, makes stupid jokes(that are still sometimes funny) and whenever someone asks for any of our birth dates he has to ask...I guess by the time you get past 40 you have so much in your brain it's hard to remember things...I'm only 17 and I have trouble remembering things! This Summer I told him i wanted to make a bedside table (and eventually a bed) for my new room. I told him what i wanted and he just drew it out on a sketchpad and then helped me build it. It was alot of fun.

My Dad has always provided for our family. This Fall he made a big career change. He no longer works as an accountant, but is now doing what he loves most. Creating and making things with his hands. His dream is to start a business making concrete counter tops, but while he is getting that started he is roofing and remodeling houses with his brother. The sad part is that he's gone during the week down at his brother's house, but hopefully that is only temporary. :)

Some people have a hard time believing he's 50...but he is...AND he has gray hairs, even though he refuses to admit it.
